Accident or conspiracy… Cybertruck explodes outside Trump International Hotel, one dead.
One person was killed and seven others were injured when an electric vehicle caught fire outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Local authorities say the vehicle was a Tesla Cybertruck, but the brand of the car and the cause of the fire have not yet been confirmed. The fire department has currently extinguished the fire in the vehicle in the valet area of the hotel.
Meanwhile, Eric Trump, son of the newly elected Donald Trump, also gave information about the incident on the social media platform X.
We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.
